Great is the publican who does not walk in step with those who watereth-down their fine ales.
And he who taketh not his patrons for granted by
Recycling slops from the drip trays or
Leaving pipe flushings in the first few pours
Praise be to the publican who delights in a clean urinal
Like the Friday raffle may he prosper.
Wicked publicans who short change pink drinkers are like the losing TAB tickets fluttering across the car park.
They will not stand in the bistro queue or go around the back for a quick fag in the beer garden.
Thus spaketh the Editor of Beer Weekly.
Window Dresser's Arms, Pig & Whistle 
I truly think the clerical work done and the management of this Psalm comp and maybe separate or incorporate Blues comp has been nothing short of brilliant and I nipped back here to retrospectively thank the organisers for their tireless work.
The way they number everything. Just tween you and me and President O, I am of the considered belief they can’t count. Irrelevant. Tireless. 🙂

Nice entry Emmjay! Gotta be in with a chance… The only other entry I could find saved on my HD was from Neville Cole; for the benefit of those who may have forgotten, here it is:
THE PIG’S ARMS IS MY WATERING HOLE
The Pig’s Arms is my watering hole,
I shall not thirst;
Emmjay makes me submit green manuscripts.
Shoe leads me beyond sweet poetry;
Warrigal restores my soul.
Atomou leads me in paths of classical righteousness
for Theseustoo, Gerard and Helvi’s name’s sake.
Yea, though I travel through the valleys
of Nairobi and through space, time and alternate realities,
I fear no submission;
for Nev is with me;
Hung’s wit and Viv’s recipes, they comfort me.
Surely Voice, Big M, Lehan, Astages, Gregor and Julian shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the
famous pink drinks and Trotter’s ale forever.
Pig’s Psalm 23
Must say that’s a right noble effort from our African Correspondant! Also may I remind those who may have forgotten that the final time and date for acceptance of entries is midnight tonight! So if anyone still feels creative, get cracking or you’ll turn into a pumpkin! And may the best poet/song/psalm-writer win!
🙂
